The Irish Writer and the World

Kiberd argues that political conflict between Ireland and England ultimately resulted in cultural confluence and that writing in the Irish language was hugely influenced by the English literary tradition. He continues his exploration of the role of Irish politics and culture in a decolonising world, and covers Anglo-Irish literature, the fate of the Irish language and the Celtic Tiger. This fascinating collection of Kiberd's work demonstrates the extraordinary range, astuteness and wit that have made him a defining voice in Irish studies and beyond, and will bring his work to new audiences across the world.

• An important new work by the leading scholar of Irish literature and culture of his generation

• A collection of the key essays that shaped Irish studies, previously only available in journals

• Features an introduction and one new essay by Kiberd, synthesising the interests of his career
